Fate of the Wiki

<i>This post was originally made by <b>skyjake</b> on the dengDevs blog. It was posted under the category: Documentation.</i>

The Doomsday Engine Wiki (DEW) is intended to be the primary documentation resource for the Doomsday Engine. It was located here at deng.sf.net, but was taken down a couple of months ago due to issues with TWiki and the SourceForge web hosting policies. At the moment the wiki is not available anywhere. There was talk of switching over to MediaWiki, though. Can anyone comment on what is the current status of this?

Well Right now i'm close to finishing the website i'm getting paid for (need it for my trip overseas. I come back early march) Once I have finished I will get back onto things with the wiki and such chiv uploaded a tiki (I think its called) somewhere on jfiles but didnt put it in a web accessable folder and I havnt got round to moving it yet. What I would really like is a brainstorm of what you really want to happen with things.

I will host the twiki at jfiles for the time being. dengwiki.jfiles.org sound good?

dengwiki.jfiles.org is OK, but dew.jfiles.org would be even better. For the time being, it would be good to have the old wiki available somewhere, before we finalize our plans for the new dengine site.

I'll make a post about the jfiles/dengine website reorganization a bit later on, so we can discuss it in more detail.

Ok. I'll get it setup and configured over the course of this week. Depending how smoothly that goes (it shouldn't be a problem as I've set up MediaWiki installs before) I might have time to transfer the content as well before next weekend.

I've configured the sub domain dew.dengine.net using URL masking to allow the domain to exist on the same web space/ftp server as the main dengine.net account. This means that we don't have two seperate locations.

The Wiki will be installed to <tt>dengine.net/DEW/</tt> but to the rest of the world, it looks and functions, as if it were a "real" sub domain (ie it is accessed via the URL http://www.dew.dengine.net)

BTW, the DewBook skin's page tabs are a bit vertically offset in Safari ("article", "discussion", "edit", "history", etc.). If I increase the size of the font, it looks OK. It looks like the tabs are too low and end up being partially over the page itself, and the page title.

Ok. I'll fix. I've only tested the new skin in IE and Firefox (both look the same and work correctly).
